A portion of the Near Trapps has been closed to climbing. This includes land below the cliff to above cliff line and starts approximately at Eenie Meenie and continues south about 200 feet. Climbers are asked to respect the no-trespassing signs and advised to use the access trail marked in orange blazes. This trail starts at the intersection of the Blue trail over the top of the Nears and the first Red trail. Follow the orange blazes east and downhill from this junction to arrive at the far (south) end of the Nears. For more information please view http://www.mohonkpreserve.org/index.php?news
Climb the thin crack to its top, then go up the face for about 40 feet to the small overhang. There is no distinct line to follow - you can wander all over the face - but the protection is adequate and the climbing is never harder than 5.5. Climb past the overhang to a vertical seam, move up the face above (crux, excellent protection), and then continue on to the pine. This route has pleasant climbing up to the hard section and a very interesting and committing crux move.
Location
Slightly left of center on the Williams' wall, the low angle area that is approximately 200 feet past the White Pillar.
